Segulot and Prayers for Finding a Shidduch from the Mekubalim
Segulot and Prayers for Finding a Shidduch from the Mekubalim
Kabbalah teaches that a woman creates an invisible wall around her husband. The Almighty created woman as “Ezer Kenegdo” (a helpmate opposite him) to man; the gematria of this phrase is 360. We know that 360 is a complete circle. When a man consecrates a woman to himself under the Chuppah—giving her a wedding ring—it is also a circle. But in order to complete this circle, one must find one's true soulmate.
Several well-known segulot for finding one's soulmate include:
1) The prayer “Shirat HaYam” (Exodus 15);
Chazal teach that it was as difficult for Moshe to split the Yam Suf as it is for Hashem to match couples every day;
2) A segula for finding a shidduch is to recite “Nishmat Kol Chai” for 40 days;
3) A segula for finding a shidduch is to recite “Perek Shirah” for 40 days;
4) A segula for finding a shidduch is to recite “Shir HaShirim” for 40 days, and during the Counting of the Omer—for all 49 days;
It is beneficial to rise at Vatikin and recite “Shir HaShirim” for 40 days.
Segulot of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov from “The Book of Traits”:
5) Anyone who has difficulty finding a soulmate should constantly recite the chapter about the offerings of the leaders of the tribes (Numbers 7);
6) The veil used to cover the bride’s face possesses the power of bringing forth offspring;
7) Through prayer, a person can change the soulmate destined for them in Heaven;
8) One who is careful not to allow two married couples to live and sleep in the same home will merit being matched with kohanim and distinguished people;
Segulot from the Mekubalim:

10) A segula for finding a shidduch from the mekubal Rabbi David bar Sheshet is to recite the entire Sefer Tehillim three times consecutively on Shabbat, and then recite the first eight chapters as well. The gematria of the word “chatan” is 458.
11) A segula for finding a shidduch from the mekubal Rabbi Yaakov ben Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Leiner of Ishbitz-Radzin—recite Psalm 121 every day at the end of the Amidah, before “Oseh Shalom.” His hilula falls on Tu B’Av—the day of lovers according to Jewish tradition—which makes his segula all the more meaningful;
12) A segula for finding a shidduch is to travel to Amuka to the grave of Rabbi Yonatan ben Uziel; those who cannot do so should light a candle for 40 days lekhvod Rabbi Yonatan and set aside 2.60 shekels for tzedakah.

on the first day—Psalms 1, 2, and 3;
on the second day—Psalms 4, 5, and 6;
on the third day—Psalms 6, 7, and 8, and so on through Psalm 120. On the final day, read the remaining 30 psalms, recite 12 times: “David Melech Yisrael Chai VeKayam” and ask for a good zivug; (Yeshiva “Kise Rahamim”)

17) A segula for finding a shidduch from the mekubal Rabbi Adir Amrusi on Pesach: a daughter should place a cup for Eliyahu HaNavi by the threshold of an open door; a son should place a roasted chicken leg from the Seder, wrapped in foil, in his jacket pocket;

This is precisely when one should pray to find a zivug (symbolized by the Shabbat candles) and pray for the establishment of a family (symbolized by the Chanukah candles); (https://emunadaily.com/about/)
